ProsGood value for a certain type of customerImproved version of Asetek LCLC design apparently

ConsNot for the water cooling computer enthusiast that wants to build their own system or tinker. This design is 'set it' and 'forget it.'

SummaryA product like this is so easy to install and performs well. I have the Asetek version, and it works great for me. I like the water cooling, the ease of installation, the quiet fan operation (I have a big antec on it), and the leak proof design. HP used the asetek as an OEM product, which tells me it's been through some testing for consistent performance stability. My asetek came with no packaging or instructions, and I still got it running just fine.

SummaryDecided to try this product just because it was made by Corsair, and they usually impress me with what they come up with. set-up was almost a breeze, but the instructions could be improved. or the way they engineer the final step. took me a couple of try before I could twist it counterclockwise. (make sure you have enough space, and do not tighten the screws before you do.) performance is great so far. definitely worth the buy if you want to try water cooling without the hassle.

SummaryI picked this up for my new i7 build and I am very happy with it. Installation was fairly simple and it yields really great temperatures. On my i7 920 at stock, the load temperature was only at 60 degrees. Overclocked to 3.8 Ghz l 1.22v, my load temperature was only at 70 degrees. Otherwise, it does not take up much space at all. The only problem is that one of your exhaust fans must become an intake, which isn't so bad as long as you have some kind of top fan. And the pump creates a very quiet high pitched noise, though that has disappeared for me. In all, I would recommend completely.

Summarystay 71-75"C avg of 4 cores temp at FULL loading with Prime95;when idle temp around 40"c This is not real water cooling the performance is close to the high end air cooling,but you will save a lot of speace and the heart will not stay in your case so if your case doesn't have many fans or not good air flew this is right for you.My result according to my Coolermaster Cosmos(http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=28494&vpn=RC%2D1100%2DKKN1&manufacture=COOLERMASTER)This is very nice case but very big nice design LOVE IT

ProsCoolingPre-filed WC for first time WCEasy installation with simple manualgood looking at all

Conssound...SOUND...sound...(see summary for details )

SummaryI know that every single pump is going to perform better or lower. The one I got is working verry greatly but she is noisy. It outclass my Vendetta 2 for cooling performance and it give some more little place in my case.Temps : Q9550 q 3.4 Idle - 28Cmid load - 34CFull load - 52CRoom temp is about 20C

For the price it's a pretty good cooler but I only wish ti have got a silencer pump.

Prosgreat temps : 72C with I7 920 x4Ghzso easy to install (tubes are long enough for a full tower)extremely silentfits everywhere

Consperformances are similar to high-end air cooling but cannot be compared to custom watercooling

Summarytemps are good because the temperature of my room is 25-26Cand the sensor is at the opposite of the room. under my desk, where my computer is, the temperature is significantly higher (i can feel the heat on my feet)

i used it with MX-2 thermal paste and a zalman ZM-3 fan in pull config (push - pull makes no difference)

The Corsair Hydro Series H50 CPU Cooler gives you the power of liquid cooling in a compact, easy to install package. You get superior cooling for higher overclocking performance without the complexity of traditional liquid-cooling systems. The Hydro Series H50 goes head-to-head with top of the line heatsinks, but maintains the near silence of liquid cooling for annoyance-free cooling performance. Due to its compact form factor, the H50 is the ideal solution for any case with a 120mm fan mount, even small form factor cases that prevent the installation of traditional heatpipe based air coolers. So whether you want world-class cooling, lower noise levels than your current CPU cooler, or something that fits in your small form factor case, the closed-loop Hydro Series H50 takes your CPU's temperature to new lows and takes up less room doing it.
